Scousers
I watched the Olympics today and David Price was on.
Just watched MOTD and Gerrard was on.
I work with people from the run-down city of Liverpool - sorry....... City of Culture.
Why do they all say erm, erm, erm, between sentences? They all do.
I was renewing my passport there a couple of years ago and had to buy a sarnie and coffee in cafe and even the girl was erming it.
Making an unattractive accent even worse, apparently

and your point is????????????
most regions have little traits with there accents, like cockneys who say 'in it' at the end of every sentence

Cheers for the infaction, BTW

I don't believe in infractions.

Fair enough, I was "pulling your wire" a bit too really. To be honest, I come from the London area originally and was thumped by my mother if there was any suspicion of the "glottal T" which is part of the Estuary accent which is loved by the BBC woman in charge of regional accents!

They're fine if used properly where someone's being nasty or REALLY offensive.
There's a few on here that are a bit touchy and in need of sense of humour perhaps.
It was a 0142 infraction, so maybe some punchy scouser who got offended after a few ales

Before I receive an infraction, I will mention that my girlfriend is a Scouser, although she lives in Wolverhampton and she has two degrees.

Out on Penistone Road then and up Halifax Road, by the sounds of it. Hillsborough is well out of the centre though, in the NW of the city.
